Nomad Dune
The Dune rugs complete the Nomad Collection and distinguish themselves with a longer pile length, which recall traditional berber rugs but are revisited in a modern key. The movement that the pile creates on the surface recalls spectacular sand dunes formed by the wind in the open desert.
Hand Knotted
Ancient workmanship that is passed down from generation to generation. Before starting the knotting an artist draws and colors the motif in 1:1 scale on graph paper. Each square represents a knot. Sitting in front of a vertical frame, the weavers will execute tens of thousands of knots: the higher the number of knots, the higher the quality of the rug and the precision of the design. After the knotting is completed, the carpet will be washed several times to remove the excess fiber and make it shinier and softer; it will then be dried in sunlight. The time required to complete these operations, and consequently the overall production time, may be affected by unfavourable climatic factors, typical of monsoon areas. The production of a knotted rug, from the carding to its final phase, involves about twenty people, each with their own specialization: this ensures the creation of a high quality product that will last over time.
